Justin,
This looks really useful. On the subject of presenting the information in a 
clear way, we have always struggled with how to present a 'larger is worse' 
number. A while back I posted a graphic which attempts to overcome this for 
latency:https://imgrush.com/0oPGJ8VHluFy.pngFeel free to use any aspect of 
that.  The example there compares fictional ISPs but it could easily be used to 
compare typical latency with latency under load.
(I used the word 'delay' as it is more familiar than latency. The number is 
illustrated by a picture of a physical queue; hopefully everyone can identify 
it instantly, and knows that a longer one is worse. The eye supposed to be 
drawn to the figure at the back of the queue to emphasise this.)
  Best,Alex

The graph below the upload and download is what is new.(unfortunately you do 
have to be logged into the site to see this)it shows the latency during the 
upload and download, color coded. (see attached image).

In your case during the upload it spiked to ~200ms from ~50ms but it was not so 
bad. During upload, there were no issues with latency.

I don't want to force anyone to sign up, just was making sure not to confuse 
anonymous users with more information than they knew what to do with. When I'm 
clear how to present the information, I'll make it available by default, to 
anyone member or otherwise.
